The document describes design choices made for the cover of a horror film magazine. It explains that the background image was darkened to seem dull and mysterious, fitting the horror genre. A blue box was used for cover lines to match the model's eyes. The model and demon were brightened to stand out against the background. Logos like "Empire" and typical magazine elements such as a barcode and date were added. Subheadings like "Massive Preview Special" and a contest promotion were included to attract audiences. The color scheme was ultimately changed to red, black, and white as blue did not suit the horror genre as well.
Magazine progress
- 1. The background image has been darkened to make the environment seem more dull and mysterious. This is a main feature on my front cover as this fits in with the genre of horror. I have used a blue box for the cover lines as this links in with the model’s eyes. The demon and model has been brightened as this catches the audiences eye as well as making the image stand out from the background rather than blending in.
- 2. I have added the masthead ‘Empire’ as this is a major company in the film industry. ‘Empire has been made translucent as I want the reader to be able to see the darkness of the forest behind the model. I have added a barcode and issue date to my front cover as these are typical conventions of a magazine. There has been a blue shape added to the bottom of my magazine. I have used the colour blue as this matches with the models eyes and goes against the colours from a traditional horror movie.
- 3. I have now added subheadings such as “Massive Preview Special” as these are typical conventions used on a magazine front cover. To attract the audience to buy the magazine more the subheading “win a chance to meet the subliminal cast” has been used as this is a once in a life time experience, which individuals can win. This will also draw more of an audience which are interested in horror films.
- 4. More information has been added to my front cover as this creates more of a focus as well as showing some content of the inside of my magazine. I decided to use an actress with blue eyes and blonde hair because this is a traditional view of a innocent and vulnerable character in a horror movie.
- 5. The image of the model has been darkened as it was too light in contrast of the background. More information has been added again as the subheading ‘MEET SUBLINIAL’S NEW STAR OLIVIA PARKER’ now links in with the main cover image. The colour scheme has now changed to red, black, and white as blue did not link in with the genre of horror.
